the machine would be so much brighter if you only buy the songs from feinstein it's. because for instance on t.v. dot com. nato says it's not going to build a joint anti missile system with russia and doesn't find it necessary to provide moscow would legal guarantees the shield won't be targeting the country is plunges the dialogue deeper into a stalemate. as the alliance runs out of missiles resist by campaign of bolivia germany u. turns on its policy of abstaining from the conflict so you can deliver important bailout to its war on ice. general recommend outages ejected from the war crimes court forcing the judge to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf and that it faces charges including genocide carried out in the balkans war and some serbs accuse the hague of one sided justice

. international using comment live from moscow this is. russia a nato fail to reach a consensus on missile defense plans in europe with united standing firm on its position nato says it's against a joint anti missile shield and finds it necessary to provide russia with legal guarantees that the shield won't be directed against it but is that tell you not because it has more now from russia city of sochi where the talks have drawn to a close. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described talks on the missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smoothly as it was expected wires here a separate class from france secretary general of nato rasmussen has never promised those talks will simply happen overnight lover of six planes and that's the reason

why sectoral anti-missile defense shield reports station of russia is impossible is because nato cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said if the sexual and missile defense shield is not a possible option and perhaps there are other ones. we would like to reach an agreement which would allow us to work together without any additional risks that will strengthen strategic stability rather than undermine it we would like to have a guarantee that missile defense systems are not aimed against russia we're not asking for unilateral guarantees we would like all the members of the russian legal council to agree that missile defense will not pose any threats to the security of any of the participants. three general rasmussen has said that he sees no need of such a proof and once again try to ensure that i am d. in here not going to be a threat to russia personally i don't think we need new treaty is what i think we

need is practical cooperation and the best the best reassure guarantee if you so wish that russia could get would be true corporate activity we want to see two systems that would exchange information. to make that defense of nato territory and or russian territory more effective they pried off of russia will be covered by that and five missile defense shield and russian president dmitry medvedev believes that that could be potential reason for another arms race on the sidelines of the russian nato council and there was a meeting with the russian president and if you need to be different the president of south africa jacob zuma came to preside and new ideas on how to resolve the conflict in libya the ideas were deprived from the recent summit of the african

union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union how their ideas were her doubts but it seems that. nature are still not in the same page when it comes to resolving the conflict let's listen to what russian foreign minister lavrov have to say. we believe that the arms embargo that was introduced by the un security council is straightforward and it is captured this way in the resolution it was libya's in charge your injury therefore any arms supplies are violating this resolution as well as any attempts to send military instructors into libya to deliver military knowledge and know how these cases are covered by the arms embargo and this is our position and speaking of hair of this meeting russia's and fortunately there are voices that said that he fears the unknown grounds operation is just around the corner and if that happens. situation in the region will severely be worse and meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again

try to reassure everyone that's ground operation is not in the latest plans. with civilian casualties mounting if you still in power know when to the conflicts in sight nato has hit yet another problem a crippling shortage of munitions in answers appealed to germany which has previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in and that is only going to go to those who believe burdens all happy to get on board now there's a profit to be main. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there are supply and this is the only has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin hundreds from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya and move that surprised some and good others but it may now be backing out of

a decision the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually supplying weapons in this case or assistance some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in a libyan campaign at first. you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be lured by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these arms to

other countries but that is normal practice between even in nato countries. out of the twenty eight need to members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which need to recently admitted to a shortage of weapons in the ever relentless more market duffy's still at the helm they call ition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. drilon is in a tough spot on the one hand it has disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in other places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one is in a goes quiet. for months on nato protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield the desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un

mandate but a peace mission was never on the coalition's priority list that's according to political blogger rick ross off. what it suggests is that nato obligations override national security concerns national interests international law for our german a for whatever reason why it is always certainly from its own for you to join the birth of a nation and serve russia china india and brazil in the security council on march seventeenth and abstaining when you run the resolution one thousand seven hundred three however the war is actually on three hundred eight right now iraq was to characterize the thirty thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including with nato it sounds like knowledge is and five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know what it is this is not simply a question of you know for certain libyan civilians from the over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted and long term military action it's an enhancement to our children from

a nuisance and we're making our organization is nothing but you know the presented as. a peacekeeping force because contagion where you know as your united nations says there are popularization to participate in certain actions since he is described as the true nature of nato it's the world's only military or it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now and those in afghanistan and in libya i think you know we can dispute you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of them or of them are through the organization. nato has deployed commando units in libya to get rid of kind of half a mile of the plane from one of his sons as comes off to another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to us here dante saying he believes the alliance wants only to based on libya's riches these country is a piece of cake rich and of gaz buoyant and we have more than one hundred billion

dollars because it's abroad so we have to share this cake that it. and you have to get on with the can i be because he's the only obstacle between. us. i think it's as simple as that. check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website at www dot com. hate war crimes tribunals entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general recommended if he can use was ordered out of the court for interrupting the georgian speaking out of turn the former general later complained of having had trouble hearing previously the judge refused to postpone the hearing at the request of another to threaten to boycott proceedings he's rejected the legal team given to him by the court in the morning to choose his own defense lawyers and that it is accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of the bosnian muslims during the war but this question is there of a reports many serbs feel the international criminal court is only taking one side

or concluded that. the quiet little town of sleeping meets in bosnia and herzegovina looks a deal if you houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and church sit side by side but this apparent unity is an illusion sixty years ago the entire region was strong and partly ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war and seventy became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and immoral for the deceased some grounds of the former un military base so bring some memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and chorus get passed on the bosnian capital of. what the tourist aren't shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around the region.

thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these with entire families of murdered serb civilians only get visited by the very few remaining survivors but only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible for this i was only nine years old when the us had already struck away everything i had in life first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for fifty six days and only god knows how or why i survived. but even though gonna survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. was at the hague tribunal and i was supposed to be a witness in his trial but in the end me and about thirty other witnesses were simply cast aside they didn't call us didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so heinous

atrocities visited an all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided and blaming the serbs. to. create a rationale for so called humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of serpent so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have gold plated unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is a very poor. creation. scenario for make sure the minds of most people. was drawn aside which

was preventable but for whatever reasons. and for an awful. didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from simply needs it to benghazi via baghdad and kabul could now be traced there's a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination carriers are there are tea party and herzegovina. coming up in a few minutes drawn out drawdown despite record bombing planned for a massive fire from afghanistan next year experts claim america is stuck there for years to harm and pain from the conflict with blood and money. for schools to become the first the former i.m.f. chief and potential french presidential candidate how many strauss kahn is about to face new sexual assault allegations a french writer who claims he attempted to rape her in two thousand and three has decided to press charges it's one of the case of a new york hotel maid who also constructs kind of sexual assault case was badly

weakened after prosecutors admitted her credibility had been compromised from sconce fellow socialists fear the new allegation could ruin his chances of running for presidency want to discuss the situation and i joined by pier gov he's a professor of political science at parris west university here the force thank you very much indeed for joining us firstly why do you think this latest alleged victim waited so long to bring these charges well actually says she was discouraged by her mother was connected to the socialist party and also this woman is connected to a friend that's true scans towards. his second wife. in a t.v. interview she mentioned she had been sexually assaulted by a straw scan but nothing came of it. and then she decided to sue just before. the american but live merican case. became

apparent in the media but she also decided not to go to the u.s. to testify against him. so it's something which has been brought to the heart but not decided. she wanted to jump on the back of this new york case which now we see could be breaking down do you think that these charges her charges could actually hear the same way. well it also depends on you know the kind of lawyers he uses in france is all depends on the facts of the case because in new york apparently. there were many substantial lies and phone calls to a drug dealer and so on. there as the case in france seems to be different but the only thing i know course is going to read in the media. sites where they're difficult prove something bad happened a long time in the past also sometimes and but it's something we also see in the

media is the speculation that this was a political assassination is transparent and so cozy could have been behind what do you make of those allegations well actually you know one has to be very careful with conspiracy theories unless you have facts and you know for sure are some facts that you cannot deny then you can have a theory which is substantiated otherwise you have hypothesis so it is possible that somebody was behind this thing but it's also possible that no one was behind it. i think we should not rush to judgment ok narry leftists who nevertheless are on the sites or on the next presidential election now do you think that now can't pay if this case doesn't go ahead you think there is a chance that he could stand for the presidency. but actually if it's totally exonerated there's a chance they could come back but. probably this letter market's difficult to know

how it's going to play on because if is exonerated it can come back. then some other people need to feel this guy has too many. sexual stories and so on put in a french public in the french media a bit more forgiving than other nations over those sort of scandals. are so far. quite true quite true. but there's a distinction between you know the real scandals when a woman is raped or way a woman is attacked and the private life of politicians you know it's very difficult to strike a balance between the two for example you know there was this guy in the united states sent pornographic pictures of himself on the net. no one knew it was private like that. certainly not. something which is.

should be approved by a case very different from political implication all right just briefly we've got to finish in just a moment but from your point of view political scientist he has been described as a brilliant political operator clearly is going to big challenge and if he does want to return to politics do you think though if he doesn't go for the present view that he could survive and stay on in politics or if he doesn't would have people lost to french politics. well actually i'm not a great fan of his early years tend to do further to the left and his but i think. if he doesn't become president he could still probably become the minister even prime minister very interesting thank you so much paper for joining us professor of political science at paris where the university of montana love the force thank you thank. barack obama's recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans they say that withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk but as loren lister finds out that the talk of change may just be

a symbolic gesture as there is no end in sight to the u.s. presence in the country. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners earlier this year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vests storm a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels there's word of the year. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath had anybody down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blasts we're starting this drawdown from position of strength about u.s. plans to begin pulling troops out of afghanistan but there are declarations on the ground from afghan activists and military might that's left a different mark democracy never come by a cliche democracy not a car by military invasion democracies never thought by cluster bombs by white phosphorous by muscle car by thumping our wedding parties and in washington talk of

winding down war in one country does not wind down talk of tackling the global terrorist threat as the focus seems to shift to neighbors refocusing resources on pakistan yemen somalia parts of north africa and other locations i've always believed pakistan is more central to what happens in this though a change in the guard at the department of defense with robert gates retiring in former cia chief leon panetta getting sworn in signals this change of course to critics i see no difference between between him and robert gates and for afghanistan we now hear a presidential pledge to pull thirty three thousand troops out by september two thousand and twelve fully we're covering the surge i announced at west point well it certainly sounds like what the american people would like to hear for the first time ever a majority want u.s. troops out about ghana stand as soon as possible fifty six percent well thirty nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend

is really flip flop. what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal well that thirty three thousand he's calling for is a minority of the one hundred thousand american troops that are there that's not including another forty two thousand nato troops and ninety thousand department of defense contractors meanwhile the u.s. has reiterated a long term commitment to the country there certainly has been an agreement that following two thousand and fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence . presence and financial burdens some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future lorin mr r.t. washington d.c. . let's have a look at some other international news this hour collins first female prime minister next move look no one has already announced plans to form a new five party coalition government this comes after her if you type party won by

slants like in sunday's general election taking clear parliamentary majority forty four year old is the sister of the country's ousted pm approximation of what toppled in the army five years ago. corporal in the armed forces is killed forefront of marines and injured another at a base on the yellow sea close to the northern border and nineteen year old also wounded is now in custody his motive for what may have been a suicide attack is still unknown south korea stations marines close to the volatile border with north korea. opposition activists in syria say security forces are raiding shells in detaining people in the central city of hama which was the scene of massive protests over the weekend at least twenty have been injured in one attempt to. monetise city is just days after three hundred thousand protesters in hama held the largest demonstration against the syrian leadership since the uprising erupted in march the city gov was later sacked reportedly failing to suppress the demonstration. new twenty four minutes past the hour in the russian

capital of about with the summer of our main news stories in four minutes from now i should say i'm eighty five and lives business news is next with cream. and i'm not into business i'm going america russ's having to face up to its own banking scandal the former heads of russia's largest lender bank of moscow are facing criminal charges after its huge bailout regulators discovered a third of the bank's assets were in bad loans were at a cost of a house that it's. everything sorted from d.c.p. took over bank of moscow and discovered back loans worth noting a billion dollars which is about one third of the bank's assets but this isn't the first time the bank is involved in the scandal the all the one involved the building that you see right next to me which is the mayor's office and that was because the former had all of moscow and be able to do was accused of shady loans

to construction companies are run by the former mayors right now he has since the country and the warrant has been issued for his arrest so the bank of moscow now be getting fourteen billion dollars which is the biggest bailout in russian history that will be given over a ten year period at an interest rate called half a percent you know this amount is three times bigger than the capitalization of the bank and it's smaller than the amount that was given so over the banks here during the financial crisis russia's finance minister has since called for a criminal investigation into the bad loans to figure out who was responsible and what happens alexander morales a from ages b.c. says the bailout shows the state is expanding not reducing its dominance in the banking sector in accordance with the president's program. stayed on the main screen the new expansion into the russian brain can soak through quite a moving moment of various sorts and though it's pretty significant the pension plan would you diligence before you describe the jewels hoping the risk is sure
